ExtUtils::Manifest will not follow symlinks. It probably should.
Here's the original report.

Hash: SHA1
Hello Michael,
I'm the author of Digest::SHA, and am currently encountering odd
behavior with ExtUtils when doing a
perl Makefile.PL
on my development platform. The MANIFEST file contains entries for
various C-source files that are used in building Digest::SHA. Typical
entries for these files are
src/sha.c
src/sha.h
...
On my development platform, "src" is a symbolic link to the actual
directory containing the C source, which is configuration-managed
separately from my Digest::SHA distribution. This symbolic link seems
to be causing some problems with ExtUtils::Manifest. Here's the warning
I receive when running 'perl Makefile.PL':
$ perl *.PL
Checking if your kit is complete...
Warning: the following files are missing in your kit:
~ src/hmac.c
~ src/hmac.h
~ src/hmacxtra.c
~ src/sha.c
~ src/sha.h
~ src/sha64bit.c
~ src/sha64bit.h
~ src/shaxtra.c
Please inform the author.
Writing Makefile for Digest::SHA
Fortunately, it still builds the distribution OK, so this isn't a
serious problem. However, I'm not able to build a SIGNATURE file using
Module::Signature, which apparently uses your module to do checking of
the MANIFEST file.
FYI, here are my platform specs:
